SOME MOKE RECIPES. 
Rolls. —Scald a generous pint of milk in 
which have been placed one teaspoonful of 
salt, one heaping tablespoonful each of lard 
and sugar. When cool stir in half a cup of 
yeast and flour enough for a thin batter, 
(half a yeast cake that has soaked half an 
hour in half a cup of water will answer if 
you have no soft yeast.) Set in a warm 
place till light. Knead into a loaf and set 
again in a warm place to rise. Two quarts 
of flour should be enough. When light 
roll half an inch thick and rub over with 
soft butter or lard. Cut with a biscuit cut¬ 
ter and fold the greased side of each one to¬ 
gether as you put them in the pan to rise. 
Cream Cake. —The whites of 10 eggs; 
one goblet of flour ; Iff goblet of pulverized 
sugar; one teaspoonful of cream-of tartar. 
Sift the flour five times ; then sift the sugar 
and flour together. Beat the whites on a 
platter to a stiff froth. Stir into them the 
sugar and flour, and, last, the cream-of- 
tartar. Bake immediately in three or four 
jelly-cake tins. 
The Filling.—T ake one pint of very 
cold, thick, • sweet cream, add to it two 
tablepoonfuls of powdered sugar and a 
dessertspoonful of vanilla. Whip to a 
stiff froth with the egg-beater and when 
the cakes are cold put the cream between 
the layers and pile also on the top of the 
cake. This is an elegant cake. The only 
difficulty in the way of succeeding with it, 
is in getting the cream cold enough. In the 
winter, when snow is on the ground, put 
the dish containing the cream in a pan 
filled with snow. In summer surround 
the dish with ice and do not whip the cream 
or build the cake till you are nearly ready 
to use it. MRS. J. N. MUNCEY.

In 18S9 England imported 104 American 
tallions against21 in 1888. Small b usiness! 
Two men in Steuben County, N. Y., and 
another in Tioga County, Pa., were re 
cently gored to death by bulls. 
IN spite of the rush for Dorsets, Hamp. 
shires and Shropshires, the demand for 
good South Down sheep is steadily in¬ 
creasing. 
Springer Bros., of Springfield, Ill., have 
bought the South Down sheep formerly 
owned by D. W. Smith of the same place— 
a fine collection. 
At P. C. Kellogg & Co.’s last sale of 
Jerseys, fresh cows went at fair prices, 
while dry cows and bulls were very low. 
The best figure was $500 for Nora Sheldou 
43590. 
Secretary Rusk proposes to give par¬ 
ticular attention to the poultry interests 
of the country. For the present they will be 
placed in special charge of the Dairy Divi¬ 
sion of the Department of Agriculture. 
The following American breeders have 
been recently bringing English horses to 
this country: J. M. Critchlow, Pittsford, 
Pa.; Stericker Bros., Springfield, III.; Pear¬ 
son Bros., Round Rock, Texas, and Win. 
Catlo, Chicago, 111. 
E. M. Lewis, of the Raisin Valley (Mich¬ 
igan) Farm, recently sold four Holstein bull 
calves, whose combined weight was 2,165 
pounds, representing a growth of two 
pounds ten ounces per day since birth, which 
he thinks very good. 
The Breeders’ Gazette tells of a number 
of retired breeders who have come to tne 
time when they think there is no first-class 
living without a Jersey cow f<jr family use, 
and this is why each of them is now look¬ 
ing for one or two choice Jersey cows. 
These gentlemen have discovered a very 
important truth. 
The Banffshire Journal tells of two old 
polled cows that are genuine “rent pay¬ 
ers.” One was calved in 1872, and has pro¬ 
duced ten heifer and five bull calves, eleven 
of which sold for over $5,000, The other 
has produced six heifer and four bull 
calves, eight of which sold for $2,700. 
Mr. Henry C. Jewett is constructing an 
inclosed shed over a half mile course at his 
farm near Buffalo, to train the young 
trotters during the winter season. Some 
idea of the magnitude of the structure can 
be surmised when it is stated that it takes 
260,000 shingles for the roof. Tnere will be 
some 260 windows in the shed for lighting 
purposes. 
In commenting on a reported sale of 100 
coarse wooled lambs at $2 a head, the Mich¬ 
igan Farmer says : ‘‘It strikes us that $2 
per head for coarse-wool lambs is a very 
low price. Such lambs should weigh about 
70 pounds now, if given a fair chance, and 
would bring over $5 per head in this mar¬ 
ket. That $2 must be a mistake, or the 
sellers did not know the value of their 
property. It is safe to say the owner is out 
$250 on the 100 lambs.” 
In the present boom of sheep husbandry 
there will be a tendency among sheep 
farmers to keep some old or inferior sheep 
for breeding that should be culled out and 
sold to the butcher. Such a course will be 
detrimental to all farmers who fail to cull 
their flocks of old or inferior ewes, and dis¬ 
pose of them as best they can in their 
vicinity.— Jonathan Talcott. 
Frank L. Hathaway, of Lincoln. Neb., 
writes as follows to the Breeders’ Gazette 
about a Berkshire sow: “ Early last 
spring I sold a young Berkshire sow (one 
of a litter of 10 pigs) that was due to far¬ 
row before she was 12 months old. She 
saved five pigs, which were carefully taken 
care of and weighed in public at 100 days 
old. Tneir respective weights were: 120%, 
117, 114%, 112% and 99%, an average of 112% 
each. The lightest one was hurt when 
about six weeks old, or would undoubtedly 
have weighed more.” 
The method of awarding prizes in the 
Poultry Departmentin the MadisonSquare 
Garden, in New York city, on February 
next, will be by “comparison.” The best 
known obtainable authority on each breed 
will be appointed. The judge will thor¬ 
oughly examine and handle each bird and 
check every entry as an acknowledgement 
that it has received his careful attention. 
After the best specimens have been selected 
the judge has the privilege of scoring them 
by comparison, if in his opinion it will 
assist him in determining the position 
each bird should occupy. 
Does Forcing Pay ?— A writer in the 
New Jersey Farmer doubts if it was yet 
ever found that a paying extra quantity of 
butter to compensate for the forcing, was 
ever secured from a cow that was not a 
natural-born butter-maker, and one of the 
greatest sources of loss iu attempting an ad¬ 
vance in dairying is this notion that butter 
qualities can be fed into a cow. He admits 
that many cows have a normal limit of 
production far above anything their owners 
ever dreamed of, or attempted to secure. 
This another owner discovers and we give 
the credit to mistaken creation when it was 
only development of latent possibilities. 
At the test of dairy cows at the Ohio 
State Fair only Holstein-Friesians were 
entered and only five of these. The first 
prize was won by the Lady of Lyons owned 
by C. W. Horr, of Wellington, Ohio. The 
prize went to the cow giving the greatest 
weight of milk in three days, the amounts 
of butter fat and solids to be considered. 
Lady of Lyons gave 197 pounds of milk 
which yielded 4.81 pounds of butter fat and 
over 17 pounds of other solids. The follow¬ 
ing facts about this cow are given : “ She 
dropped her last calf on August 28, 1890. 
During the two weeks preceding Tuesday, 
September 16, 1890. she was fed substan¬ 
tially as follows : all the hay she would eat; 
when she first calved, a small ration com¬ 
posed mainly of bran, and containing a 
small proportion of oats, corn-meal and 
oil-meal. From the day she calved until 
Thursday, September 11, the amount was 
increased until the amount of grain fed 
was 12 pounds of bran, 10 pounds of oats, 
two pounds of corn-meal and two pounds 
of oil-meal—26 pounds in all. In addition 
to the above she received all the corn-fodder 
she would eat.” 
Screw Worm. —The Texas Experiment 
Station has issued a bulletin describing 
this destructive insect. We are told that 
it seems to be well distributed over the 
American Continent, for Dr. Williston, of 
Yale College, writes that “ it occurs every 
where from Canada to Patagonia.” Al¬ 
though so generally distributed, only in 
Texas does it bear an economic importance 
in the United States. Of all our domesti¬ 
cated animals cattle suffer the most from 
its ravages. The pests occur in wouuds 
from horns, castrating, spaying, branding, 
dishorning, barbed wire injuries, and often 
where ticks have burst on the brisket, 
flank, or just behind the udder of cows. 
They often occur in the vulvae of fresh 
cows, especially if there has been a reten¬ 
tion of the placenta or afterbirth. Young 
calves are almost invariably affected iu 
the navel and often in the mouth, causing 
the teeth to fall out. Last September 
Dr. Francis, of the Texas Station, had oc¬ 
casion to kill a Jersey bull calf, probably 
two months old, that had screw worms iu 
both hind legs just above the hock joint. 
On opening the abdomen he found hair- 
balls in the stomach (rumen), and, to his 
surprise, about 25 fully matured screw- 
worms almost buried in the wall of that 
organ. He placed some of the worms iu 
moist earth, and in 10 to 12 days they 
hatched out genuine screw-worm flies. 
How did they come there S' His opinion is 
that the calf licked the sores on his legs, 
and in doing so took in some eggs that 
hatched and developed in the stomach.

A Ilcm arka hie Offer. 
For several years a well known Boston 
business house has made persons keeping 
poultry, few or many, remarkable offers of 
premiums payable iu gold, some as high as 
fifty dollars to the first and not less thau 
five dollars to any winner of a premium. 
The best thing about those offers, was that 
the premiums have always been promptly 
paid, as agreed, in gold coin. Fifty dollar 
premiums do not “grow on every bush” 
as the old saying is, and we have no doubt 
to many who competed for them, the 
amount received came in handy to help pay 
the necessary bills of a hard winter, or if 
not, buy some luxury that the family ab¬ 
solutely needed, but otherwise could not 
afford. The same firm, I. S. Johnson & 
Co., 22 Custom House St., Boston Mass., 
authorize us to state that they have pre¬ 
pared an offer of similar premiums this 
year, with one very important improve¬ 
ment and that is, so that the first winner 
stands a fair chance with others of getting 
one hundred and fifty dollars in gold 
premiums. Why I that is as good as fifty 
dollars per month for the three winter 
months. It’s worth trying for any way. 
Johnson & Co., will send full particulars 
free to any person sending them his ad¬ 
dress on a postal card. These premium 
offers are made in connection with the use 
of Sheridan’s Condition Powder to make 
hens lay.
